According to State's Attorney's documents, the parents, John and Janice Land, told police that the twins had autism. The twins were non-verbal and could only communicate by pointing. The parents said they locked the men in the room to prevent them from leaving the house.

The property has been condemned, and the twins are being evaluated. The parents are now out of jail on bond.

Neighbors did not know much about the twins. Some knew nothing.

"I had only heard from my boyfriend's landlady that they existed. I had never seen them before, never seen them out front," said Sarah Silberto, one of the Lands' neighbors.

Chris King, another neighbor said, "I had no idea they were ever there."
